Inauguration Issues - Get on the Bus
Question - where are all of those buses going
to? Do all of these folks really BELIEVE they are actually gon get anywhere
NEAR the ceremony? Brothers and Sistas, we can't all go to Washington for
the ceremony. The city ain't but so big! "D.C." is smaller than Queens . You
w asn't ALL INVITED! I heard of one church that has FIFTY buses going to
Washington ! Have ya'll all lost yo minds?! FIFTY BUSES! Where they gonna
go? AN' you know some our folks don't do well in the cold! What's Sista
Jones and her bad hip gonna do standin on the lawn for three or four hours
when it's 10 degrees out? First of all, you know she cant walk from where
yall gon hafta leave the bus to where you gon hafta stan', which is gonna be
'bout five MILES from where the President’s gonna be! An' y'all know ya
can't be draggin' all yo lawnchairs, beachchairs, piknik chairs an tables wi
d ya! You gonna hafta stand all through the ceremony. 'Sides, by the time
all them bad hips an' bad knees gits down there to the lawn, the ceremony’ll
be 'bout over!
That brings ta mind another thing! Y'all needs
to leave on time! This ain't goan be like no church piknik or barbeque, an'
it sho ain't gonstart two or three hours late like some gospel show. Now Bam
is a brotha, but he know how to handle his bizness! He don't run on CP
Time>Them folks ain't gon stand out in that cold all mornin' waitin for the
10,000 buses and vans comin' from all over to get there. You church folks
migh jes as well plan on leaving Sunday mornin' - do all yore singin' an'
prayin' on the road! Psalm 95 on I-95! (Check it out - it fits!)
An' y'all best be plannin' on leavin right
afta the ceremony. They ain't gon let y'all jes tie up Pennsylvania Avenue
all daggone day! I can hear it now - "WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE LAWN – STEP
BACK OFF THE LAWN!" They ain't gonna wait while 20 million black folks line
up to have they picture taken standin' in front of the Capitol. AN' all your
marchin' bands, steel pan ensembles, step teams, drill teams, Pee-Wee
football,cheerleaders, church choirs, jump-rope teams, Elks, Masons, Bisons,
Shriners, Miners, Whiners, Evening Stars, Morning Stars, Falling Stars,
Alphas, Deltas, Sigmas, Kappas, Phi Beta Slammas, and fine Gamma Hammas
cannot ALL be in the pararde.
If you ain't got an invitation ALREADY, you
ain't invited! So jes plan on goin' down, an' soon as you inside the city
limits - get off the bus, take your pictures and LEAVE, cause with alla you
peeples tryin to git there at the same time, the closest you likely to get
to the capitol will probably be Baltimore in the north and Richmond to the
South! Make sure that you SCHEDULE your time off, an' that includes
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Brack can't be callin' all your employers,
an' being stuck in traffic on I-95 comin' from the Inauguration don’t get
you no kinda administrative leave!
One other thing - remember back in the day
when we was all still upset about racism in America, an' many of us was
convinced that THE MAN was constantly plottin' our extermination?! Remember
when everything was seen as an act of racial GENOCIDE - Welfare Reform;
requirements that college athletes meet academic standards to be eligible to
play; the DISPROPORTIONATE number of brothas in PRISON; drugs; raising
academic standards; even birth con trol! Well, just suppose there was a way
to get ALL of the black people together in one place at the same time. Then
it would be relatively easy to get rid of them. Well, as it seems like just
about every black person in America is plannin' on bein' at the
Inauguration, you don't suppose that all of this could be part of some
sinister MASTER PLAN to get rid of black people, do you?
For myself, I plan on stayin' home that day
an' watchin' everything on the tee-vee. l'll probably see mo of it than any
of y'all. Besides, all that aroma of all that perfume, hair stylin'
chemicals, curried goat and fried chicken on a bus for 16 hours would drive
me plum crazy.&nb sp; On the other hand, I might jes go down to the church
that mornin' an' make a few bucks sellin' some brown-paper-bag-gourmet-food.
Besides, there's gotta be at least ONE person left to tell about all this.
Anyway, I hope you have a great time and keep
Brack an' his family in your prayers! Oh yeah, remember - Jan 20, 2009 @
7:30 p.m. sharp! No matter where you are, or what you doin' - it's time for
the National Electric Slide!
Slide to the Left! Slide to the Right! Now
everybody clap your hands!
